JUDIE FAQ

When will it be available?

Actually this project is in planning phase. There is an existing prototype, but this is fairly poor. We plan to implement the new JUDIE until mid of 2008. Stay tuned.

What is JUDIE?

JUDIE stands for Java Universal Database Import and Export. It is a tool for exporting data from one database (say, Oracle) to XML file and then import into another database (say, MySQL). JUDIE is OpenSource and published under LGPL

Is there any support for JUDIE?

As with all SourceForge projects there is a bug tracker and several forums. Feel free to post your questions and bug reports there. There is no guarantee for quick response. If you customers ask for professional consulting, we can offer this services and charge it.

Which databases are supported?

Normally one would say all JDBC databases are supported, but there too much differences to say so, honestly. So we focussed on Oracle 9i, 10g 11g and MS-SQL Server (2003 upwards) and MySQL (5 upwards). If you face trouble with other databases, go to the forum or bug database. If you have a solution or patch, pls share with the community. In many cases it is sufficient to patch datatypes.properties for your database. We plan to extend JUDIE to other databases, but there is no guarantee. We hope the community can help also.

What about CLOB/BLOB?

JUDIE is able to export and import CLOB and BLOB. CLOB is stored as string data in XML, BLOB as base64 encoded data. Because of tricky handling of CLOB/BLOB there can be issues with different drivers/databases. Pls report any problems.

How do I install JUDIE?

Very easy, just download the distribution package (judieN_N_N.zip or judieN_N_N.tar.gz), extract to any folder and find the judieN_N_N.jar in the lib folder. Include this JAR file into your JAVA classpath and you can start. Don't forget to add the JDBC driver JAR (like jdbc5.jar for example with Oracle) into class path. There are already some example command line scripts, you can easily copy/modify them according to your installation and needs.

Is there any documentation?

Yes, Javadoc is distributed as part of the distribution package and a tutorial is also available on the project website. Also the functional specification (FS) is available for public use.

Is there an Eclipse Plugin?

Yes, there is the JUDIEclipse4QuantumDB, which extends the QuantumDB plugin. Plugins for other DB plugins can easily be build by copying the JUDIEclipse4QuantumDB and modify to match the structure of your favorite DB plugin. If you do so, please give us a notice and please also publish under sf.net. The plguin uses two wizards which are part of core JUDIE. So all you have to do is write the adapters which call the wizards.
